Bull Fighters actually have quite an extremely dangerous job! If you have ever been to a PBR (Professional Bull Riding) Event then you know exactly what we are talking about here. Bull Fighters were previously known by the term "Rodeo Clown." Now days, they have sponsors to support them and wear the proper logos with added protection in their padded vests and knee pads all for one reason: To keep themselves safe while they throw themselves smack dab in the middle of harms way all for the sake of the cowboy on the bull!

A Bull Fighters job is to protect the Bull Rider (Who is a REAL Cowboy) from the bull itself. This means jumping right in to the middle of the action for the Bull Fighter whether the rider is falling off of the bull, stuck to the bull by his rope or the bulls horns, or trying his best to get away from the bull by running, crawling or flying through the air. All this is happening either during the 8 seconds on the clock or after the 8 seconds which can then seem to last an eternity for both players. The Bull Fighter has one thing on his mind - Get the Bull Rider to safety!!!!

Flint Rasmussen

Flint Rasmussen, the famous "Bull Fighter"/"Rodeo Clown" of the PBR appears to be all fun and games with his clown makeup and funny costumes, but he knows that this is a serious job and when the time is at hand, comedy gets put on the back burner.

Interesting Facts:

Famous bull fighter, Rob Smets calls his job "a dangerous game of tag."
It can get nasty in the rodeo world when you're it.
(U.S.A. Today)

In the PBR, a qualified ride is 8 seconds.

The rider can not touch the bull with his free arm and is not allowed to touch the ground at all.

The bull rider and the bull are both scored, however each are scored seperately.

Well that is a great question and if anyone knows about hand tooling, it is the Tim's Boots personnel! Our most famous brand, Black Jack, has a large variety of hand tooled boots to offer, but what does this exactly mean? Here is the details about hand tooling.

1.) Hand tooling is 100% hand crafted by a Leather Craftsman with leather working hand tools. Yes, that does sound a little cliche, but it is the truth!

2.) The difference between smooth leather and hand tooled leather is that smooth leather is exotic or animal hide that has been tanned (professionally) and then dyed to a specific color. Hand tooled leather goes through the same process except that after it is tanned and/or dyed it is hand tooled before it goes through the boot making process. A craftsman uses his leather working tools to create an intricate design on either the shaft or vamp of the boot. Hand tooling can also be done on both the shaft and vamp depending on the style of tooling chosen.

3.) Hand tooling adds extra time to boot production. Since hand tooled leather is created individually and not crafted by machine, when you place your order for hand tooled boots there will be an additional few weeks added to the production time frame. It takes precious time to create such a masterpiece as this is not a step that should be rushed! However, it is well worth the wait.

4.) Hand tooling comes in either the color of the leather chosen or has added hand painted details to elaborate the hand tooled work that has been created. Below is the perfect example of how talented leather craftsman must be to create and tool such an exquisite design onto a piece of leather.

The Facts:

Since hand tooling is such an intricate work of art, it does bring an increase in value to the leather.

There are not any two pairs of hand tooled boots alike; each and every pair has its own “identity.”

Hand tooled boots make a powerful statement!

Each Black Jack boot is truly a piece of art all in itself.

Now, doesn't that make you want to go out and buy your very own hand tooled cowboy boot? This isn't just a piece of art you can hang on the wall, it is an actual piece of art constructed together in the form of a cowboy boot that you can wear out and show off to all of your friends! Or you might want to put this special pair of cowboy boots on display!

Take the time you need to choose exactly what designs or styles that strike your fancy in the hand tooled choices on our website. One of the great things about Black Jack is that their styles never get discontinued. Once they start making a style of boot, it will stay in production as long as it is ordered! If you want a specific combination and can't find it on our web page, always contact us. Because Black Jack boots are custom made, we can make changes according to your specifications! If you have any questions, please let us know. Our Tim's Boots team is always happy to help you in any way that we can!
